About — The Archivist

This edition was generated from the two supplied Facebook JSON export files.

Editorial treatment

The primary archive contains records with exported post or note text. Activity-only records are retained separately. Facebook-generated activity titles remain source metadata rather than editorial headlines.

Wording is preserved. A reversible character-encoding error present in the Facebook export has been repaired for display—for example, UTF-8 punctuation that Facebook exported as Latin-1 mojibake. This restores the encoded characters; it does not rewrite wording, spelling, punctuation, or style.

Media and links

The JSON contains references to media paths and external URLs. Archived media is displayed only where the source JSON supplies an explicit media URI and an exact matching exported file is present. No media-to-post relationship is inferred from appearance, date, or subject.

Corpus

17,291 unique records after exact deduplication; 15,433 text-bearing records; 1,858 activity-only records. Coverage: 14 July 2007 to 09 September 2026.

Restored media

The edition restores explicitly referenced photographs from Photos_149592219611, Mobileuploads_53510084611, your_posts, iOSPhotos_10151257889474612 and Assorted_60041779611, together with all 292 distinct explicitly referenced video files. One referenced still image, your_posts/10156367200984612.jpg, is absent from the supplied Facebook media export and is not substituted. Videos use native browser controls and the archived source files are not transcoded or altered.

Time

Dates and times in this edition are displayed in UTC, preserving the current archive build's explicit time basis rather than silently converting them to a local timezone.

Archival layers — deleted, archived, peripheral, media-associated and revision evidence preserved separately from the primary chronology.
